When it comes to domestic leasehold premises in Polperro, you effectively rent it for a certain period of time. In recent years flat leases are usually granted for 99 years or 125. Many leasehold owners are unconcerned as this seems like a long period of time, you may consider extending the lease sooner rather than later. The general rule is that the shorter the number of years is the cost of extending the lease becomes disproportionately more expensive notably when there are fewer than eighty years left. Residents in Polperro with a lease nearing 81 years unexpired should seriously consider extending it sooner as opposed to later. When the lease term has under 80 years left, under the relevant statute the landlord is entitled to calculate and demand a larger amount, assessed on a technical computation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.
It is generally considered that a property with more than one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Two years ago Nathan, came critically near to the 80-year mark with the lease on his leasehold flat in Polperro. In buying his flat two decades ago, the lease term was of no interest. by good luck, it dawned on him that he needed to take steps soon on a lease extension. Nathan extended the lease just ahead of time last June. Nathan and the freeholder via the managing agents subsequently agreed on an amount of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the price would have increased by a minimum £875.
In 2014 we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. N Harris who, having acquired a basement flat in Polperro in October 1995. We are asked if we could estimate the price would be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable homes in Polperro with 100 year plus lease were worth £250,000. The average amount of ground rent was £50 billed every twelve months. The lease ended in 2094. Having 68 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 not including legals.
In 2010 we were contacted by Mr T Collins who, having purchased a first floor apartment in Polperro in February 2006. The question was if we could approximate the price would likely be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Identical properties in Polperro with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £285,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £55 invoiced every twelve months. The lease came to a finish in 2105. Considering the 79 years unexpired we calculated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £13,300 and £15,400 plus expenses.
